Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Shortlisted for the Smarties Prize in 1991, Tracy Beaker's story, which is told in the first person by the infuriating and loveable 10-year-old Tracy, is a wonderfully funny and thought- provoking slice of life in a children's home. Tracy, as she herself tells us, has had a hard time. She's been fostered a number of times but it's never worked out. Now she dreams of her glamorous mother coming to fetch her and spends her time, when she's not quarrelling with the other children, writing her life story. And then one day, Cam, a real writer, visits the home and after a rocky start, she and Tracy really hit it off. This highly accomplished, prolific, prizewinning author is outstandingly successful in dealing with painful social and personal problems in a realistic, funny, touching and highly memorable way. The story is delightfully illustrated by Nick Sharratt and laid out in a genuinely user-friendly way. A must for 7- 11-year-olds. --Tamsin Palmer --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
'Told in the zany, entirely convincing voice of Tracy Beaker herself... The strains of communal life with other children, rivalries and friendships and jokes, all spring to life' Sunday Times; 'A book that lingers in the mind long after it is put down' Guardian; 'A brilliant young writer of wit and subtlety' The Times. 'She's so good, it's exhilarating' Philip Pullman, Guardian. 'She should be prescribed for all cases of reading reluctance' Independent On Sunday.
